Last Friday afternoonKara Starinost, a trans -woman detained at a Federal Women’s Jail in Fort Worth, Texas, was taken from her unit. One guard told Strinkost that his chapel had an unexpected psychological appointment.
“He was lied to,” Divine Olum, a friend who regularly talks to her on the phone. “Once she got away, they took her.”
According to Oilm, Strinkoast told her that she was one of about a dozen trans -women who were taken from the general population in FMC Carsville and went to the administrative separation unit commonly used for prisoners on suicide clock. There are –
Oilm said under President Donald Trump’s anti -transition, these women were told that they would be transferred to men’s jail. Executive OrderBureau of Prisons, to make sure that “men are not detained in women’s prisons” and that prisoners see gender health using federal funds. No care. On Monday, Trump issued Another discord order Trans are preventing people from military service, which was Quickly challenged In federal court.
Trans women who are forced to live in men’s prison facilities Non -proportional risk Of sexual abuse and torture as a bureau of prisons Manual on trans prisonersRecognized, released in 2022.
On Tuesday afternoon, a warden unexpectedly told Strinkost that she could return to her unit, Olum told the Intercept. “They are still very upset but hopefully, Oilm said after removing the phone with him.”
Where will she present the rest of his sentence about the four -day trial of the Strinkost and the ongoing uncertainty, reflects the uncertainty of hundreds of transit people in federal prisons, who have been targeted by Trump and his strict right allies. –
“The worst part for this is not to know what will happen next,” said Alegara Glacuser, a lawyer for Strinkosta. “She does not know whether she will be kept with men. She does not know whether she will receive her hormones according to the schedule. Everything is uncertain. I am unusually disturbed by Cara’s physical safety and his mental health.
“In particular, those involved in the transfer, and in particular, are facing immediate losses to this executive order,” said Shin Madley, a lawyer for the Trans Equality Advocate lawyer.
It’s not The first experience of the Strinkoast that faces a dangerous assignment of accommodation in the Federal Prison.
In 2022, when he was arrested on firearms charges and after the seizure of fake government seeds, the strainist was initially Put in the men’s unit At the notorious MDC Brooklyn facility, his passport and driver’s license reflects that he is a woman.
It took the risk of sanctions for two court orders and the bureau of prisons to transfer the Strinkweast to a women’s residence in MDC Brooklyn. Magistrate Judge Sankett Blasara wrote in a September 2022 order, “The DOJ and the BOP move forward under the misconception that judicial orders are consulting.” “Such contradictory behavior is at risk of humiliation.”
In another order, in November 2022, a judge Instruction The bureau of prisons in the prison database to transform the genre of Strinkost into women. “Failure to do so,” US District Court Judge Dora Arisri wrote, “only faces the problems of the wrong gender that the defendant faced in custody.”
In August 2024, the Strinkostat sentenced him to 60 months in prison after he was found guilty of a crime for the counting of firearms. Of the judge The order of punishment It is specifically recommended that the Strink should be assigned to the FMC Carsville “or any other medical facility” and that the bureau of the prisons “provides gender certification and other medical care.”
Under the rules of the Biden administration, Ollam also said of this process, “It is active to bring the heavens and the earth to the right unit.” “If they are moved, they will be wasted forever.”
Olm, which posts a video update about the case and condition of the Strinosta, told the break that the Strinky does not know when it will be moved, but he fears it may happen at any time. According to Olum, in the meantime, prison officials have begun addressing sterinkost and other trans women through male conscience. “When the staff arrives, they address them as ‘gentlemen’,” said Olm.
The Bureau of Prisons did not respond to the inquiries about trans -women held at FMC Carsville or planned to transfer them. But another prisoner of this facility, Angel Aspinosa-Welgas, who is a TransamSascoin, closely photographed Olm’s account in messages sent to friends.
“I don’t know what to do other than the sound of danger.”
On Friday, the guards “transported trans-women out of every unit,” Espenosa-Welgas wrote in a message that was jointly combined with an intercept. “You should have seen the bad form of victory because they used to take the Trans women crying from here.”
Espenosa-Welgas also wrote about the concerns among the tranomascoal prisoners that “we are next to Trump’s list.”
“Now talk about sending US Transhosis [administrative segregation] Unless ‘Trump finds a place for us’. “” Officers say this. They have refused to give me me [testosterone] Every time I go and ask them.
Espenosa-Welgas wrote in another message, “God is watching women away.” “I don’t know what to do other than the sound of danger.”
Sunday, another Federal custody was identified in judicial records by Trans Women – a pseudonym, Maria Mo -. First filed a case Challenging the executive order.
“Maria Mo is a woman and has constantly taken to hormones since she became teenage.” Complaint Massachusetts filed in Federal Court. He said that during his imprisonment, federal reforms and his colleagues are always treated as a woman. It has never been kept at the convenience of men and has not stopped taking the hormone.
But last week, like the Strinkwest and others in the FMC Carsville, MOE was removed from the general population of women’s convenience, according to legal filing, which rejected the specific prison name. The next day after Trump’s executive order, the MOE was restricted to the “Special Housing Unit” and “is not allowed to contact others for at least four days.”
Mo’s lawyers argue that in addition to the Constitution and other clauses of the federal law, the executive order provisions violate the eight amendments against the brutal and extraordinary punishment, such as hormone therapy and others. Care is banned.
“The transfer of Maria Moe to a men’s jail would be a serious risk of severe damage, including a high risk of violence and sexual abuse by other prisoners and BOP staff.”
Although Mo’s case was immediately sealed, Oilm said he, Strinkost, and other trans -women in FMC Carswill are watching closely, hoping that the judge challenged MOE. Monitoring judges can stop executive orders nationwide. Last week, a federal judge Temporarily blocked Another Trump orders regarding Birthright Citizenship.
“Girls just want to be their message: silence is equal to death,” Olm said.
